What's your role at Aquent?

Managing Director, Australia

Why do you love what you do?

Easy, the people I work with. Both colleagues & customers.

What industry experience/expertise are you looking for when you hire recruiters?

I’m not. I am more interested in people with a desire to succeed, a relentless pursuit of exceeding customer needs and an interest in the digital space. And people who embody our values.

What top tip do you have for Recruitment Talent looking for new job opportunities?

Be yourself. On your CV, your social profiles, with customer interactions and when you meet a prospective employer.

When you're not working, what do you love doing?

Watching the Melbourne Rebels try to win a rugby match. Walking my dog Pablo or continuing the endless search for the perfect wave, with an employ line up.

How do people get in touch with you?

I am responsible for the operation and future growth of Aquent's business in Australia. Talent acquisition, talent retention and workforce solutions are board level discussions in almost every organisation, and my experience in helping clients across a wide range of industries to access the very best digital Talent across marketing, creative and development has given me the privilege of understanding what top Talent want and what companies can do to access them. I like: Surfing. My dog Pablo. The Melbourne Rebels. Colourful socks. Our clients. Our amazing Australian team. I don’t like sprouts. Or ties.
